It's pretty much being done in the trunk of the development tree.  You know 
how 2.6 isn't forking off a -devel branch?  What's in the tree has to _work_, 
and if it doesn't work we have to _fix_ it.

1.1.1 may ship next week.  I need to get mount fixed (-a and -o,remount are 
between the two of them a largeish logic change that I have mostly worked out 
now), fix the reboot/halt/shutdown stuff (mostly done, but Roberto Foglietta 
came up with a better way and that's what I'll check in when I get home)...

The fixes that already went into mdev are good.  Vladimir checked in dnsd and 
fixed some of the bugs from the bug list.  Several new applets went in, but 
new applets shouldn't break existing stuff.  (Might shuffle some stuff into 
the debugging menu in menuconfig, like the libbb.so stuff there's no use case 
for yet, and the SUSv2 obsolete stuff.)

I was planning on holding off for a couple months, but several people find 
rather noticeable bugs, and those should be resolved and new release pushed 
out so we can tell people "upgrade, it's clearly better than what we had".
